About Sprained Foot

A sprained foot is a common orthopedic injury involving the stretching or tearing of ligaments that support the foot's joints, most often affecting the ankle. An orthopedic specialist diagnoses this condition through a physical exam, assessing pain, swelling, and instability, and may use imaging like X-rays or MRI to rule out fractures. Treatment is tailored to the severity (Grade I, II, or III) and typically follows the RICE protocol, Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation. For moderate to severe sprains, immobilization with a brace or walking boot is common. Orthopedists may also recommend physical therapy to restore strength, flexibility, and prevent chronic instability. In rare cases of complete ligament tears, surgical repair might be necessary to restore proper joint function.

Key Highlights

    Non-surgical management is effective for the vast majority of sprains.Structured rehabilitation reduces the risk of re-injury and chronic pain.Early and proper treatment can prevent long-term joint instability.Personalized care plans from an orthopedic specialist ensure optimal recovery.

PATIENT REVIEW

Had my gallbladder out at MGM....

Had my gallbladder out at MGM. Dr. Vinod was really clear about what to expect after. The first couple days were rough, I won't lie, but his team had a good plan for the pain that actually worked. Follow-up was simple, he just told me to take it easy and call if anything felt off. Felt normal again quicker than I thought.
